Used to collect one of the test data from a disposable test suite
An exemplary embodiment of the
如圖1所示,該用於自一可拋棄式測試套組80之使用收集測試數據之設備10包含一讀碼器20,該讀碼器20係經配置以掃描於該可拋棄式測試套組80上所提供之一獨特的測試識別符82,以及掃描一病患識別符90。於一較佳的實施例中,該獨特的測試識別符82係呈一快速回應碼之形式,而該病患識別符90則係可被提供於該病患之一識別卡或一臨床記錄上的一條碼。
As shown in FIG. 1, the
該設備10亦包含一識別模組30,該識別模組30係經配置以自該經掃描之獨特的測試識別符82辨識由該可拋棄式測試套組80所執行的一測試種類,以及自該經掃描之病患識別符90辨識已使用該可拋棄式測試套組80之一病患,液體分析物係自該病患獲得用以進行由該可拋棄式測試套組80所執行之該測試。由該可拋棄式測試套組80所執行之該測試係一免疫測定法,其施行係藉由使用該可拋棄式測試套組80中所提供的量桿(dipstick)或橫向流動測試條分析一液體分析物。
The
目前,有不同種類的免疫測定法可用於測試不同醫學狀況,或是用於檢測或診斷疾病。可藉由使用一可拋棄式測試套組來執行的不同種類之測試的範例包括:懷孕測試、人類免疫缺乏病毒(HIV)測試、尿液測試、瘧疾測試、登革熱測試、鉤端螺旋體(Leptospira)測試、傷寒測
試等等。明顯地,每個測試有其各自特定的可能的相異結果。舉例而言,於一懷孕測試中,其可能有四個可能的相異結果:陰性結果,其由顯示於該可拋棄式測試套組80之一結果視窗84中之一「對照」位置的唯一一條可見的線所指示;陽性結果,其由顯示於該結果視窗84中的二條可見的線所指示;以及二個無效結果:第一無效結果係由在該「對照」位置無可見的線及在「測試」位置有一條可見的線所指示;以及第二無效結果係由在該「對照」位置無可見的線及在該「測試」位置無可見的線所指示。在該結果視窗84中,該「測試」位置可以「T」標示代表測試(Test),以及該「對照」位置可以「C」標示代表對照(Control)。
Currently, there are different kinds of immunoassays that can be used to test different medical conditions, or to detect or diagnose diseases. Examples of different types of tests that can be performed by using a disposable test kit include: pregnancy test, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test, urine test, malaria test, dengue fever test, Leptospira Test, typhoid test
Try and wait. Obviously, each test has its own specific possible different results. For example, in a pregnancy test, there may be four possible different results: a negative result, which is caused by the only one displayed in a "control" position in a
該設備10進一步包含一顯示螢幕40以及一顯示及選擇模組50,該顯示及選擇模組50係經配置以自動於該顯示螢幕40上顯示與該經辨識之測試相關聯之所有可能的相異結果之每一者作為一可選擇的選項供使用者選擇。此可藉由將該等可能的相異結果51、52、53、54之每一者與其各自的選項按鈕51b、52b、53b、54b一起顯示於該螢幕上來達成,如圖2所示。若該顯示螢幕為觸控螢幕,則每個選項按鈕51b、52b、53b、54b可藉由觸碰該選項按鈕來選擇,或者若該顯示螢幕係連接至一具有滑鼠輸入的運算設備,則每個選項按鈕51b、52b、53b、54b可藉由使用一滑鼠點擊該選項按鈕來選擇。或者,該等可能的相異結果之每一者可各自以一可選擇項目被顯示而無需任何選項按鈕,如此係藉由直接觸碰或滑鼠點擊該等可能的相異結果
之一者來做選擇。

於一較佳的實施例中,該等可能的相異結果之每一者係以一結果視窗之影像被顯示,該結果視窗之影像係對應於該可拋棄式測試套組80之該病患會於該結果視窗所看見對於由該可拋棄式測試套組80之使用所產生的該特定結果。舉例而言,若該可拋棄式測試套組係具有四個可能的相異結果的一懷孕測試,所有四個可能的相異結果將會被顯示為:一顯示視窗84之第一影像,其對於一陰性結果51顯示一條可見的線於該「對照」位置;一顯示視窗之第二影像,其對於一陽性結果52顯示二條可見的線;一顯示視窗之第三影像,其對於一第一無效結果53顯示一條可見的線於該「測試」位置但無可見的線於該「對照」位置;以及一顯示視窗之第四影像,其對於第二無效結果54顯示無可見的線。以此方式,該使用者係被呈現以一多選評估,其中該使用者可選擇視覺上符合該測試的一實際結果之一選項,該實際結果係在該可拋棄式測試套組由該病患使用之後可見於該可拋棄式測試套組上的。
In a preferred embodiment, each of the possible different results is displayed as an image of a result window, and the image of the result window corresponds to the patient of the
該設備10係經配置以使僅有該等所顯示之可能的相異結果中之被選擇的一者被收集作為測試數據。
The
於一較佳的實施例中,該顯示及選擇模組50係進一步經配置以在該使用者選擇該可能的相異結果之一者後,自動於該顯示螢幕40上顯示與該測試數據相對應之一相異測試結果。以此方式,該使用者不需動腦解讀可見於該可拋棄式測試套組80上的該測試之結果,其僅需選擇該
顯示螢幕上與該可拋棄式測試套組上所見相符的一所顯示之影像,然後一相異測試結果自動地被顯示。以該可拋棄式測試套組80為一懷孕測試套組之範例繼續,當該使用者選擇如圖2所示之該第二影像52,諸如「懷孕陽性」之一結果或類似者將被顯示於該顯示螢幕上。為有助於此一功能,已知對應於該測試之該等可能的相異結果之該等相異測試結果係被儲存於一可被該顯示及選擇模組50存取之程式庫(library)中。
In a preferred embodiment, the display and
該設備10進一步包含一聯結模組60,其經配置以自動將該測試數據與該經辨識之病患聯結。以此方式,各個特定病患之測試數據可被儲存,且該等病患與該等測試結果之間的混淆可被消除。
The
該設備10亦包含一數據儲存器70,其經配置以在該使用者啟動後即自動將該測試數據儲存於該數據儲存器70中。該數據儲存器70可為下列一或多者:一運算裝置之一內部記憶體諸如一智慧型手機或一電腦之硬碟、一外部儲存裝置諸如一SD卡或快閃記憶體裝置、一雲端運算儲存(cloud computing storage)、一在一伺服器上之資料庫等等。此外,該數據儲存器70中的測試數據可被配置以使其透過一訂閱服務而可為醫療機構所存取。該經測試之數據至該數據儲存器70之儲存係經配置以被該使用者所啟動,例如,在選擇該等可能的相異結果之一者後,藉由碰觸或點擊顯示於該顯示螢幕上之「儲存」圖像來啟動。
The
任擇地,該設備10可進一步包含一相機72,其
經配置以將該可拋棄式測試套組80上的該測試之一實際結果拍照。於如此的實施例中,該聯結模組60係進一步經配置以自動將該照片與該測試數據聯結,以及該數據儲存器70係進一步經配置以自動儲存該照片。該照片係被意欲作為證據,以及作為一備份用以核對該測試數據係對應於該可拋棄式測試套組80上之該測試的該實際結果。
Optionally, the
該設備10亦可進一步包含一警示模組55,該警示模組55經配置以基於該測試數據自動提示該病患去執行一預定動作。舉例而言,在該測試種類為一血糖位準測試之情況下,若該測試數據指示該血糖位準係超出一預定位準,該警示模組可提示該病患去看他們的醫生。可以藉由發出短訊息服務(sms)或電子郵件至該病患,或是於該顯示螢幕上顯示一適當之訊息來提示該病患。此外,該警示模組55可進一步經配置以將該測試數據與先前所收集之測試數據相比較,以及依據該比較之不同結果自一預定動作的資料庫選擇該預定動作。此設想是針對測試中該測試數據與先前所收集之測試數據之間不同幅度的改變需要採取不同的動作者。舉例而言,當該設備10係經配置為一HBA1c(代表糖化血紅蛋白(A1c),其識別平均血漿葡萄糖濃度)葡萄糖監測裝置,每一次一使用者儲存最近的測試結果,該經收集之測試數據將被抓取。若該最近收集之測試數據經與該先前經收集之數據比較超過一預定差異,該病患依據該差異之幅度將被提示要採取一預定之適當動作。
The
該設備10之一實施例係呈一智慧型手機之形式(如已經於圖2所示),其中該讀碼器20係以利用該智慧型手機中所提供之相機的應用程式來提供,以及該顯示螢幕40係該智慧型手機之顯示螢幕。該識別模組30、該顯示及選擇模組50、該聯結模組60及(任擇地)該警示模組55係被提供於一應用程式中,該應用程式係經配置以與該智慧型手機之作業系統一起運作。該數據儲存器70可包括該智慧型手機之內部記憶體及在一伺服器上的一資料庫,該資料庫係可藉由雲端運算來存取。該智慧型手機實施例特別適合照顧的當下(point-of-care)使用,其中該使用者與使用該可拋棄式測試套組之病患被預期為同一人,或其中該使用者係該病患之照護者。
An embodiment of the
該設備10之一替代實施例係呈一電腦之形式(未顯示),其中該讀碼器20係以一手持式或固定式雷射條碼掃瞄器所提供,以及該顯示螢幕40係該電腦之顯示器。該識別模組30、該顯示及選擇模組50、該聯結模組60以及(任擇地)該警示模組55係以一軟體應用程式被提供,該軟體應用程式係經配置以與該電腦之作業系統一起運作。該數據儲存器70可包括該電腦之內部硬碟以及該電腦所連結之一網路伺服器上的資料庫。該電腦實施例特別適合組織使用(organisational use),其中該使用者可為該組織之工作人員,其促進來自各自使用一獨特的可拋棄式測試套組之多位病患的測試數據的收集。
An alternative embodiment of the
自該可拋棄式測試套組之使用收集測試數據的
該方法100,其現將參考圖3來描述。於該方法100中,該讀碼器20係被使用以掃描該可拋棄式測試套組80上所提供之一獨特的測試識別符82(101),以及該識別模組30自該掃描辨識出由該可拋棄式測試套組所執行之一測試種類(102)。該讀碼器20也被使用來掃描一病患識別符90(103),自此該識別模組30辨識已使用該可拋棄式測試套組之病患(104)。該顯示及選擇模組50接著在該顯示螢幕40上自動顯示與該經辨識之測試相關聯之所有可能的相異結果之每一者作為一可選擇的選項(105)。該使用者選擇該等所顯示之結果之一者供收集作為測試數據(106)。該選擇步驟(106)應是使由該使用者選擇之該結果對應至自該可拋棄式測試套組由該使用者之使用所產生的該測試之一實際結果。該聯結模組60接著自動將該測試數據與該病患聯結(107),以及該使用者最終啟動該測試數據之儲存至該數據儲存器70(108)。
Collection of test data from the use of the disposable test kit
The
該方法(100)可任擇地進一步包含將該可拋棄式測試套組上之該測試的該實際結果拍照,自動地將該照片與該測試數據聯結並儲存該照片至該數據儲存器。該照片之儲存可以是經使用者啟動或自動執行。 The method (100) may optionally further include taking a picture of the actual result of the test on the disposable test kit, automatically linking the picture with the test data, and storing the picture in the data storage. The storage of the photo can be activated by the user or executed automatically.
取決於該測試數據,該方法基於該測試數據可進一步自動地提示該病患去執行一預定動作。此可包含發出一電子訊息至該病患。該自動提示可包括比較該測試數據與先前收集之測試數據,以及依據該比較之結果自一預定動作的資料庫選擇該預定動作。 Depending on the test data, the method can further automatically prompt the patient to perform a predetermined action based on the test data. This may include sending an electronic message to the patient. The automatic prompt may include comparing the test data with previously collected test data, and selecting the predetermined action from a database of predetermined actions based on the result of the comparison.
該設備10及方法100因此不需要該使用者動腦解讀該可拋棄式測試套組80上所見者而允許測試數據被收集。該使用者僅需輸入該使用者於該可拋棄式測試套組80上所見者至該設備10中,而不需解讀該測試結果之意涵為何。解讀係由該設備10根據該輸入之測試結果所執行,該測試結果係經預定與一特定測試結果相關聯。此減少人為錯誤的一個可能來源。於此同時,由於係該使用者依據該使用者於該可拋棄式測試套組80上所見者去選擇由該設備10所顯示之該可能的相異結果之一者,該設備10及方法100不仰賴使用該設備10去自動讀取由該可拋棄式測試套組80所示之該測試結果。該方法100及設備10因此結合了人類及機器之能力的優勢同時減少人為及機器錯誤的可能性。
